GRYPHON ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Thursday, August 21, 2014
“N” Day Classes
·
Thank you
for your professionalism and cooperation during our lock down on
Wednesday. This was not a drill so we
appreciate you taking it seriously. We
had a person on campus grounds (not in the building) who was refusing to
leave. We did not think he would harm
any of you, but we needed to be sure we took every precaution until he was
removed from campus by police. Your
cooperation helped us ensure your safety.
Thank you!

Are you someone
who enjoys playing football? If so, join the STEM Flag Football League. Games
are played every Friday and all are welcome. If you are interested in

stating your interest. The season will be starting soon, so do so ASAP!

Big
congrats to the golf team: they had a record setting match Wednesday night. The
team counted a 157 which is their all time best. They also completed the ALS
Ice Bucket challenge following the match and nominated the Robotics team, the
Ultimate Frisbee team and the swim team to do the same. You can view their
video at
Speaking of the ALS ice bucket challenge
– Mrs. Ashe’s husband, the principal of the STEM Academy at Hardin Valley,
challenged her! She’ll be doused on
Friday during Genius Hour – need some good creative ideas – email Mrs. Ashe
ASAP with ideas!

Yearbook/school
photos will be taken tomorrow, Thursday, Aug 21 during school. You must
bring the envelope you were given in
Advisory last week with payment to order any pictures. You must bring it back to give to the
photographer even if not ordering so your name is spelled right in the yearbook
– everyone will have their picture taken, even if you’re not ordering. Senior picture retakes (formals only, no
environmentals) will be done at the same time.
You will be called to pictures
with your 1st period class.
You will not go to 2nd period until we finish with pictures,
so you may not go to 2nd at all on Thursday.
·
Genius Hour
groupings will be posted in the Commons for those without iPads and Mr.
Childers sent a link for those that have one.
Keep up the good work on campus clean up after lunch!
·
You can
return the forms you got in Advisory to any teacher or turn them in to the
orange crate in the front office as soon as you get them signed.
